I can't recommend a book that is both good and possible to be made into a puppet show.
I can recommend a good book that I recently read, Foundation by Isaac Asimov. Maybe you could make a puppet show out of that, I must confess that my confidence in that area is not high.

If you are looking for things that would be ironic/funny to turn into puppet show format.

Naked Lunch. That would make an awesome puppet show, could get messy though. It was written by bisexual herion addict William Burroughs, and is largely based on scenes from his life. It hasn't got much plot, but its got scenes like this in it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKk0eFiHYpg

You could try a few scenes from Harry Potter or something...

A puppet show troll fight could be... not bad...?

A song of Ice and fire... oh wait

I have no idea for a book that can be made into a puppet show.

Maybe Bartimaeus? Its a good book but the magic might be hard to replicate with puppets...

The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri or any comic by Alan Moore.
I back this post up 100%.

I'd also suggest MacBeth or Hamlet by William Shakespeare.

Twilight?

why....
Because it's hilarious. Seriously, have you ever read it?

To be completely honest, I can't recommend you any books that would be good to make into a puppet show. I'd chew my teacher out if that were a requirement in my classes. It's kind of degrading and insulting to the authors.

Seriously, try Twilight. Read it like it's a comedy, not a wannabe drama, and you're set for a pretty great puppet show.

A...a puppet show? Really?

You'd probably be best off using a Dr. Seuss book. Simply drawn characters, nonexistent (almost) stories, should be easy.

1984 and animal farm are both good and easy to read.
Animal farm is for the advanced class but maybe.
